Thinking Out Loud-October 15, 2015

I’m feeling pretty good about getting back into all of this blogging stuff. I think one of the best ways to do that is to get back into some of the link-ups I used to enjoy before my excessive hiatus. One of my favorites…

Yes…Thinking Out Loud, hostessed by the lovely Amanda at Running With Spoons. Thinking Out Loud is for letting everyone know how you feel about things. For Good or Bad…What do I Really Think?!?

~~I try not to make political statements but I Am so Very sick of politicians and everything they have to say. Since when do we have to hear from them all so early either on the news programs or in debates. I’m just tired of it, but I promise not to mention it again.

This quote sums up my feeling on this topic:

Think about it.

~~Just back from a three-week visit to New Mexico and yet I miss it already. There is something special about the place. I’m trying to make the best of the time I still have to spend in New Jersey, but some days are difficult. I find it hard to wrap my head around being here and not on my mountain ridge where the days never seem to end and the skies go on forever. The Autumn colors are helping but only a little.

~~I’m working hard on trying to get into a better routine than I had before we left. I should probably actually write down my plans for each day. Sometimes I’m not even sure if I missed doing something that I had intended. At least if I made a list, I could check things off and then know what was done and what wasn’t. I’m going to write one Tonight!

~~Getting back on track with food is also a challenge for me. Trust me, I was not the best Weight Watchers member while on vacation. I paid attention but I was Way too flexible. I’m working hard to get back on track.

~~Boy did I miss going to the gym while I was away. I could tell that I was getting very stiff and achy. Now that I’m back to the gym, I feel so much better even though there’s plenty of achy going on with muscles that had to endure no exercise and a 3000 mile car ride. But I fell better already and I’m feeling good getting back into that routine.

Enough of me rattling on. If I talk too much for too long, they won’t let me back into Thinking Out Loud next week. That’s all I have to say for this week. Stop over at Running With Spoons to see what everyone else has on their minds. It’s a lot of fun!

Fall has to be my favorite time of the year…the sky last night was beautiful and when I drove into Riverwinds this morning I could see (even in the dark) a beautiful tree covered in bright red leaves…what a way to start the morning!

That Gandhi quote is fantastic, and so true. I have trouble watching the debates because there is such a great part of me that wants us to work together rather than tearing each other apart and going to extremes just for the sake o fit.
